Blizzard First Love and a Wife Who Finally Snaps novel Chapter 396

Isabel received several property deeds, a large sum of cash, and, as Daniel explained, there would also be annual dividends.

As long as the Blackwell Group didn't fail, her shares would continue to generate income.

She even had a say in the appointment of some senior executives.

This time, Adrian was truly showing his sincerity.

But these things weren't what Isabel truly wanted.

They were just his punishment.

What she wanted most was a divorce.

"Thank you for your hard work, Daniel." Isabel put the deeds away and poured him a glass of hot water.

Daniel was taken aback by the kindness. "It's all part of my job."

The holidays were over, and he thought Adrian's attempt at reconciliation had worked. He assumed Isabel would naturally take care of him at Halcyon Hills Residence.

But as soon as he left, Isabel moved out of Halcyon Hills Residence with her son and Martha.

After all, she had plenty of houses now.

A few days ago, Adrian at least had Martha to feed him and Oliver to show concern, and even Isabel would glance his way occasionally.

But tonight, he waited for a long time, and no one came.

The bedroom window had been left open, and his blanket wasn't properly covering him. Although his body was numb, he was freezing.

Daniel only found out about this when he came to ask Adrian about company matters.

The Adrian he saw now was more disheveled than he had ever seen him.

The golden boy, such a proud man, was now covered in filth, the light gone from his eyes.

Daniel bathed him personally, then cleaned the bedroom himself, throwing out what needed to be discarded, spraying disinfectant, and temporarily moving Adrian to a guest room.

"It's all clean now." Daniel never thought Isabel could be so ruthless, though he could understand.

If he were Isabel, he would find it hard to forgive Adrian too.

"Mr. Blackwell, let me stay at Halcyon Hills Residence to take care of you. This situation with you and your wife can't be rushed."

He actually wanted to advise him to get the divorce.

Sometimes, you have to hit rock bottom to have a new beginning.

Maybe a divorce would paradoxically give him a glimmer of hope.

Daniel twirled some of the broth and noodles onto a fork and brought it to his mouth.

After some hesitation, he decided to offer his advice. "Mr. Blackwell, I think you should just go along with your wife this time. Look, you used to arrange everything on your own, never saying anything, controlling everything. This time, let her feel like she's the one in charge. Maybe if you agree to the divorce, she won't despise you so much anymore."

Adrian didn't speak, just focused on eating.

That was as much as Daniel could do.

The rest was up to him.

Isabel started going back to the lab.

Oliver hadn't started school yet, so he was usually with her.

Edmund Reed was going to be in town for three months.

Isabel's lab needed him.

But Oliver could only watch from outside the lab as his mother smiled at him and gave him a thumbs-up.

"Grandpa Foster, I want to learn how to do experiments, too!"
